This is my very first grow and i am enjoying it so much !
I am checking my two AUTOplants 5 times per day And I’m really worried about them.
So yesterday i found something on leaves of 1st plant.
I am not sure what and how to describe it properly so I will just put photos and ask you for help.
You may have a touch of white powdery mildew. A dilute peroxide/water mix (50/50) will eliminate it immediately. Managing humidity will help. Good airflow always helps as well.
Many of these products should not be used during flowering. Capt Jacks Deadbug is safe and effective for use during all growth phases.
Your plant would benefit greatly from more light. What are you using for lighting?
Haha. I keep a tab open as I work each day and check in when work is slow.
You won’t be able to flower a plant with fluorescent lighting. You’ll need ~200 watts of full-spectrum lighting per plant.
The only plants that need as much light as cannabis are palm trees, olive trees, and some species of cacti. I would get the plant as much direct sunlight for as many hours per day as you can.
Just learnt about spectrums… Damn i wasn’t expecting this!
This DNAT things are definitelly outside of my budget!
What about LED lamps? I still need 200W when using LED or maybe less?
Just found a 40w that can fit my budget with 72 diodes: 30 blue/42 red
200 watts of lighting from Samsung LM301 diodes is a basic standard.
If you can afford 28 grams of weed off the street or from a dispensary, then you might consider making nearly the same investment that will provide you with all the weed you could ever want with little further cost. Quality lighting should cost ~$1.00 USD per watt, though it may be more expensive in your country. It makes the difference between harvesting a few grams from a grow or a hundred grams per grow. Lightning is the single most important factor for a productive grow.
You could run 500 watts of poor lighting and would still never get close to 200 watts of proper lighting.
Maybe it’s something that you can save for over time and make the investment later. I wish I could help you more.
I run 300 watts of LM301 LEDs over each of my plants and get results like this. Good lighting makes a massive difference. I got over 200 grams from this plant.
If you can get the plant in direct sunlight for several hours every day from you balcony you may be ok.
The more light the better but the plant will flower with any amount of light its just that your yeild greatly suffers.
A 100w led would work for 1 plant fairly well.
Try to stay away from the ones that have red and blue diodes and give off a purple light.
Those are older technology and something white full spectrum is way better
Looks like you’ve been taken care of lol, thanks for the tag.
I absolutely agree with @MidwestGuy on lighting. You cannot flower cannabis under your current light. Something to think about if you want to continue growing your own bud. There’s a lot of options, I just don’t know what you can get in your country. Do what you can is the best advice or if possible, grow outdoors.
It’s not that they are bad at all.
There is just a big gap in the technology is all.
But if you got them then yes use them
Just don’t spend much money on them if you do buy more light in the future.
Sometimes we just have to work with what we have and you will get some bud, that direct sunlight will help you alot but use whatever lights you got and you’ll learn as you go.
Eventually you’ll be able to get a good strong light and by then you’ll have some growing experience, even if it’s not huge yeilds until then
And I’m really worried about them.
